Italian Air Force C-27J Spartan

Not surprisingly, given the fact of its being a product of
Italian firm Leonardo, the Italian Air Force was the first country to begin
operating the twin-turboprop C-27J medium transport, doing so in 2006. It has
since largely superseded the Aeritalia C-222 (previously G222) on which the
Spartan was based, and taken part in multi-national operations, not least in
Afghanistan. Visitors to RIAT 2018 can expect to witness a spectacular
aerobatic display from the Italian C-27J operated by the Reparto Sperimentale
Volo flight test centre, featuring many manoeuvres not usually seen performed
by an airlift aircraft; as well as seeing one up close on the ground.
